We were Americans driving through Europe and the late '90s.
It was before Google translate and before Google maps. I had an HP PDA with translation app on it. I had purchased language packs for the countries we were visiting.
Down the highway we go. This beautiful black and white sign appears in the side of the road. It was 10-12 ft square with a skull and crossbones. Below the skull was a VERY long word.
We laugh nervously. What the hell was that? Yeah right?
After driving for a little while another one. Fuck. I don’t know is the serious?
Another one. Now I’m breaking out the PDA and trying to remember the alphabet soup underneath the Grimm imagery. It doesn’t have any idea what I’m talking about. We’ll see another one coming up and we debate sitting in front of it until I get a chance to get it into the translator.
It was probably the longest compound word ever created to express the term drunk driving.
